The prosecution argued it was gross negligence and that Heaney was driving drunk and knew the risks of his medical history before getting behind the wheel.

It was the July 4th weekend when the 6-foot-2-inch tall, 300-pound Heaney went out fishing and then grabbed a bite to eat and a beer before getting behind the wheel and crashing into the biking crew.

Defense lawyers argue he wasn't drunk and the heat helped to spike his blood sugar, causing the hypoglycemic attack.

However, the prosecution says due to Heaney's gastric bypass surgery, alcohol affected him faster. They argued Heaney's early wake up call that day, the medication he was on, the heat, his alcohol consumption and medical history were enough to keep a man who had himself preformed hundreds of DUI tests as a cop off the road.
